a4: copying a4 directory #20

Closed anilkamat closed 3 years ago

anilkamat commented 3 years ago

Summary

@mortezah I am trying to copy a4 directory to my home directory but it is giving me some error saying "The directory doesn't exist ". I followed the same copying command as in the previous assignments.

Details

command used: cp –r ~/barn-shared/fep/a4 ~/. Error: cp: cannot stat '\342\200\223r': No such file or directory cp: omitting directory '/gpfs/u/home/FEP5/FEP5kmtn/barn-shared/fep/a4'

Code

@anilkamat I can copy things without any problems on my end. In the command that you copied in the issue cp –r ~/barn-shared/fep/a4 ~/. it seems that you are using a character that is not a "dash" before the dash-r option. Can you copy and paste this one and see if the cp is successful cp -r ~/barn-shared/fep/a4 ~/.

@mortezah Yes, you are right. The character "-" was the unknown one. It worked, Thank you.
